Online Collaboration

“Just plug any digital instrument â€“ a MIDI-enabled keyboard, a MIDI-enabled guitar or MIDI-enabled bass, MIDI-enabled drums, or a MIDI-enabled wind-controller — into your PC or Mac computer, fire up the eJamming Station and weâ€™re connecting you over the Internet to a whole world of musicians across town â€“ or across the ocean. In Sync. In Real Time. Or in as close to real time as the laws of physics allow.”

Virtual Instruments/Music Toys

Splice sounds like a bit more than most online music toys – it’s a basic sequencer that runs in your browser, and you can even feed it your own sounds to mix. I’ve not had a play yet, but Music Thing seem impressed, and that’s good enough for me.

Desktop Blues – turn on the radio for the basic backing, then just click away to make music. It’s quite easy to make it sound surprisingly good. (Thanks to Thumbrella.)
